#Zlat10: Five Reasons Why Man Utd Re-signing Zlatan Is A No Brainer

The lion is back! *and no, we are not talking about the President who just got back from a sick stay.Zlatan Ibrahimovic is back to Old Trafford!Yesterday, Man Utd announced that they had signed the Swede player who was out-of-contract at the end of last season. Zlatan agreed a short-term deal that would see him stay with the club till the end of the season. The 116-time Sweden international scored 28 goals in 46 appearances across all competitions for United last term, before picking up a knee injury which ended his season prematurely.The player is set to be out on the sidelines till at least December, but with a player out for that long Man Utd could see major reasons why they needed to re-sign the player.Get Lindelof GoingMan Utd signed Swede defender Victor Lindelof from Benfica but the defender is yet to make an appearance for the Red Devils in the Premier League.

Mourinho had commented on the player making a slow start and still needing time to adapt to the Premier League and new surroundings and who better to help him with that transition than fellow Swede, Zlatan Ibrahimovic?Goals, Goals, and More Goals.Zlatan scored 28 goals in 26 appearances for the Red Devils, and at 35 it is quite the stat that belies the age. The next top scorer close to the Swede would be finishing with 11 goals in all competitions.

Although Man Utd have signed Romelu Lukaku, there are still some concerns as to where the rest of the goals could come from, and while it looks like Anthony Martial and Paul Pogba look up to the task already, there is no harm in getting that extra man who is a proven goal-scorer.Role Model For Other StrikersMan Utd's attacking options are quite young and while they might have hit the ground running in their career the presence of Zlatan Ibrahimovic could be a catalyst to bring out their true potentials.

Cristiano Ronaldo and Wayne Rooney all had something to learn from fellow Swedish striker Henrik Larsson during the striker's short stint with the club. Rashford had already talked about how much he had learnt from Zlatan and his return would be of good deal.Premier and Champions League AmbitionAs clearly put in his interview, the striker is not one to back down from a challenge and likes to prove his doubters wrong. The Champions League remains a club trophy the Swede is yet to win and while the Europa League would be good consolation, the player remains hungry for it, a hunger Man Utd could do with.

The Lion has won domestic league titles in every country he has played in, so why not help the Red Devils to help him continue that narrative?Absolute BargainThe forward has still got fuel left in the tank and while it might look crazy to be paying the 35-year-old player about £150,000 per week in wages, getting him on free transfers twice in a row is a good bargain.

The player was willing to take his current wage half of what he earned last season at £367,640. They were a lot of teams willing to pay Zlatan that amount both in Europe and abroad, but he took a pay-cut.
